Police say they have found a tent in which Moat has been hiding near the village of Rothbury, Northumberland. Detective Chief Superintendent Neil Adamson said the killer’s lair was found in a “secluded area” and revealed that Moat had left an eight-page letter in which he repeated his intention to kill police officers.

Moat has been on the run since shooting Samantha Stobbart, the mother of his daughter Chanel, in the early hours of Saturday in Birtley, Gateshead, and killing her boyfriend Chris Brown. Early on Sunday morning he shot and wounded traffic policeman Pc David Rathband in Newcastle, then wrote a 49-page letter in which he announced he had “declared war” on the local force.
